We have some backup classes that have multiple streams. When one stream
fails, the only way to rerun just that stream is to initiate a backup on the
whole client and then kill off the other streams. This is a tedious process
because you have to lookup the file list on the stream that failed, compare
it to the file list for the streams that are running, kill them, etc.
Does anyone have a better solution? In most cases, logging into the client
and using bpbackup is not an option.
I'm almost tempted to break all of my classes into multiple classes, one
stream each, but that just seems ugly (or have other people tried that?).
Just rerunning the whole backup is not good because it chews up way too much
tape on, say, a 500Gb full ;)
I've been playing with bpbackup on the master server to see if there is some
way of saying "backup these files on this client," but bpbackup apparently
doesn't support this - it either runs a schedule for a client or you use it
on the client. There appears to be no way to say "here's a list of files on
client X, now go back them up as if we're running a full/incremental/etc."
Anyone have any ideas?
